under my house.
I found him/her sunbathing on the doorstep on Saturday afternoon - as I
approaches he/she slithered under the door and into the cottage.
Gorgeous creature, pale gold with a zig zag of dark brown down the back
Snake definitely more freaked out than I was - after all, I as a.)
wearing boots, b.) able to step straight over that arrow shaped head c.)
aware that Adder venom, though painful and temporarily disabling, is
almost entirely non-fatal to fit human adults, and d.) snakes dislike
the presence of humans almost as much as they dislike the proximity of
Gruffaloes.
I just sat on the steps watching Ada (or Adalbert) the Adder, turn tail
and slither back outdoors again.
I must get a new camera for moments like this.
